CELTIC PARK has become a pit stop for scouts from English clubs in recent years and for players looking to impress before winning a move to the promised land of the Premier League.

Gary Hooper and Victor Wanyama both moved on for big money in the summer, now it seems that Virgil van Dijk has caught the eye of two teams with money to spend.

Jimmy Calderwood has returned to football and will no doubt bring a bit of colour to the proceedings in Holland and Caley continue to fight off bids for Billy McKay.

Transfer Talk has all the latest news and rumours.
